Original artwork description:

Art is a reflection of the artist's inner world, and the original oil painting "Metaverse I" by contemporary artist Xu Bin is a masterpiece that is full of whimsy. This painting depicts a virtual world - the scene of the Metaverse.

The painting presents a world that is not limited by reality, and anything is possible. The Metaverse is a virtual space that has been discussed by many scholars and scientists. It is a term coined by science fiction author Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel "Snow Crash". The Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of multiple virtual reality spaces. The concept of the Metaverse has been used in various fields such as virtual reality, video games, and even social media. It represents the ultimate virtual space where people can interact with each other in a digital environment.

In this painting, Xu Bin depicts a Metaverse that is inhabited by robots. The two female robots holding a ladder represent the robots' willingness to help humans. The robots are depicted as friendly female figures, with their brains painted to resemble open books. The pages of books seem to record countless knowledge - including not only the knowledge of science, culture, art, philosophy of human society, but also the knowledge of metaverse and robots themselves. There are two people in the robot's brain, and judging from their behaviors, they are trying to explore something.

The ladder is an essential element in this painting. It represents the continuous progress of human efforts and pursuits. Robots holding the ladder show that they are helping humans advance civilization. This can be seen as a reflection of the positive impact of technology on human society. The ladder can help humans approach higher goals and provide a broader view. This suggests that the relationship between robots and humans can be symbiotic, and the progress of human civilization can be accelerated with the assistance of intelligent machines.

The drinks beside the ladder show that robots already have social capabilities and entertainment needs. Some keyboard keys-like objects are soaked in the drinks. This detail reflects the differences in the lifestyles of robots and humans and suggests that robots even have an independent aesthetic. The mechanical properties and digital nature of robots are also reflected in the shape of keyboard keys. The robot stepping on the step in the shape of keyboard keys implies that the robot has reached a higher level on the basis of human science and technology and has achieved transcendence. There are various signs that the robot here is already a new type of intelligent life form. They have the ability to make independent decisions, learn independently and evolve themselves.

The painting also raises some ethical questions about the development of artificial intelligence. The two little birds that fell from the top of the ladder are not controlled by robots or humans, representing the existence and intervention of freedom and autonomy. This reminds us that in the process of the development of human civilization and artificial intelligence, we need to ensure compliance with basic human values to ensure the positive impact of technology. This is an important reminder that we must always consider the ethical implications of our technological innovations.

Xu Bin's unique personal artistic style is fully reflected in this masterpiece. The picture has a full sense of space, bright and harmonious colors, and meticulous portrayal of the images of the female robots. Everywhere shows the painter's superb painting skills and elegant aesthetic taste.
